Three somewhat lazy guys are holed up in a house as a strange virus sweeps over the world. It seems that people are being turned into walking dead, and it bitten you become one within an hour or so.
These three guys live a rather safe life except when they have to go out for supplies or just to get out for a while.
After a while they stumble upon a young woman who just may have the cure to this disease and of course, they all volunteer to help her. They also hit on her quite a bit. As she gets the cure ready one of the men is bitten and sacrifices his life for his frineds and the woman.
The young woman is also bitten as they feel to an airplane to take them to an island that is supposed to be safe. She turns into a flesh eater mid flight and the plane is landed by the nerd of the party.
Sadly they find the island inhabited by zombies as well and they seem to be faster moving than others. The last survivor is attacked by his now dead friend and the cure is slapped from his hand and lands in the ocean as they fight on a small boat. The movie ends on a rather down note with the nerd survivng in a rowboat in the ocean with no hope of survival.
This is a well made film that will hold your attention, and that is rare for films made in this day and age. They are characters you can actually care about and the downbeat ending does depress a little.
If you're looking for a good zombie movie made in the past 20 years, this is one of them.
